Anthony V This was an entertaining movie with some gorgeous scenery. And Richard Boone was one of my favorite actors. The only drawback were some gaps in the story which seemed like poor editing. But the story was interesting in it's treatment of an indigenous tribe that you don't usually come across in Westerns. Not sure how they survived in such a rugged environment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Not sure why all the bad reviews this is one of my favorite westerns, good characters, good adventure, and interesting aspects of the journey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's something of a low budget version of 'The Searchers', but if you can withstand the poor quality appearance there's a fairly decent story here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Found Myself Strangely Enough Really Enjoying This. I Suppose The On-Location Backdrop Just Adds To A Relatively Interesting Tale. I've Visited The Regions Of Canyonlands, Grand Canyon & Arches Parks In Arizona/Utah, & They Are Truly Awe-Inspiring Locations. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Whoever produced this movie was a crooked guy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Its just too dull and racist.
